Barcola's number 29 from FIFA to Liverpool

Bradley Barcola's number 29 has a story behind it that most fans probably don't know. It's not a tribute to a family member or a favorite player, it's because of Alex Hunter, the main character in FIFA's story mode The Journey. Barcola said that when he played through that mode, 29 became a symbol for him. He made a promise to himself: the day he turned pro, he'd wear 29, and he'd never give it up. He actually kept that promise. What started as a number in a video game turned into a core part of who he is as a footballer. Now that he's at Liverpool, he's not changing it. From FIFA to Anfield, 29 stays with him.
